If you don't follow Ezra Klein's podcast, I recommend listening to the one he posted two days ago, entitled "Trump Kicks Down the Guardrails" . The link goes to a transcript, but there's a play button there, as well, if you want to listen through a browser, but it's also available through all the us...

“Yes.. all the ethics reports and claims….

And claims. Yeah. Just slip that in there, like it’s on par with a report after an investigation. How do these people get away with saying crap like that? Are Americans that stupid?

Yeah, don’t answer that. It’s too depressing.

So about the Matt Gaetz appointment: I'm hearing a lot of fuss about the appointment and talk that he won't get confirmed. And maybe that's even true. But the thing is, Trump is already flooding the zone with shit. If Gaetz gets turned down, it will help Trump by helping him to identify the Senators...

I have my tiers of Trump voters: 1. (least bad) - Those who voted for him in 2016 thinking he wouldn't be as bad as they thought he would be and would grow up once in office, quickly realized they were wrong, and have never supported him again. 2. Those who still voted for him in 2020 despite seein...

An expected loss is still a loss. UCONN Huskies bite Banghart's team in their ankles.

I'm a little disappointed they came that close, honestly. I was really hoping they'd get thoroughly curb-stomped. But and "L" is an "L", and cause for celebration no matter how we get it.

Yeah, this group annoys me. You don’t like Biden’s policies in the Middle East, so you abandon Harris for someone far worse? How did you expect this to play out? Your candidate blocked a cease fire deal so he could use the issue in the campaign. A pick like that was completely predictable. And it's...

Trump is having some of his picks for his cabinet forego FBI background checks. Mike Johnson says there is no need to release Gaetz's ethics report. Why would an AG need to be ethical? Why bother seeing if anyone in government has any legal concerns? I mean, that's just silliness, right? Is this wh...

Huge game with #18 Maryland today. Unfortunately I'll miss it. :( I'll record it and try to stay spoiler free. :wizard: I zipped through it because every time I watched something awful happened. Yeah, it was kinda brutal. The worst part about it was that it was such a winnable game against a very g...

Liberty provided a REALLY good test for the Blue Devils, with it being only a 2 point game at half time. Lots to work on, but also lots to be happy about. Final score 83-67. :happy-bouncyblue: Solid result, but the way we got there scares me a little about taking on Maryland. Hopefully we've got th...

If this puts me on the list, so be it. Since there are a limited number of places I frequent that are open to this kind of thing, congratulations, you get it. If you've seen it already, I apologize. I don't get out much.

Sorry to hear that, Chris. A loss like that never goes away, but the good memories live on. Good luck to you and your new bride as you get through it.

The boiler is leaking boiler oil from the fourth floor into the light and the ceiling tile over the Circuit Court Judge's Secretary's office. It has a red additive, and looks like blood dripping from the ceiling. Maintenance has ordered a new gasket. In the interim, they have attached a water hose ...

I haven't visited over here in a while, and look what happens! Congratulations!!

I wish there was something to talk about. Nothing to see between the open practice (which was almost three weeks ago now) and Opening Morning in about ten days, and the program just doesn't say anything. For a media-savvy program, they certainly aren't very good at hyping up the start of the season....

Thanks! And I really appreciate you defending me when someone started saying that I went on there with a goal of trying to get the thread locked. I'm glad I happened to see that accusation so that I could respond to it too. No I definitely never associated any of that kerfuffle with you. I'm sure I...

First and foremost, you shouldn’t at all feel responsible for what happened to that thread. You were not the one throwing rocks. Others were. They were the reason the thread was shut down. Not you. Second, I mentioned elsewhere that I thought the reaction you got was predictable. Don’t for one secon...

I love this thread, especially on mornings like this one. GTHC!

I trust many of you are already there. Have fun and Go, Duke!

The Duke women’s soccer team defeated the cheaters tonight. First time in Duke history.

First time in Duke history that we've beaten them at home, anyway. We've beaten them at their place and at a neutral site before. May this be a harbinger of things to come!
